[Lyrics for Charlie Daniels – Drinkin My Baby Goodbye]
Sittin’ on a barstool
actin’ like a darn fool
that’s what I’m a-doin’ today
Sittin’ here drinkin’
tryin’ to keep from thinkin’
I’m a-boozin’ my troubles away
Well now I couldn’t make her stay
but doggone her anyway
she can’t say that I didn’t try
Pour me another one
I’m finished with the other one
I’m drinkin’ my baby goodbye
(spoken)
Everytime we disagreed
she was always askin’ me
“Are you a man or a mouse?”
Now that she’s gone
she probably thinks I’m home
just a-mopin’ around the house
She probably thinks
that she’s the one thing
I just couldn’t get along without
Well wouldn’t it surprise her
I got a sympathizer
as long as these bottles hold out
Well I’m-a
(spoken)
Every time I try to
sit down and talk to her
it always ends up in a fuss
I tried to reason with her
right up to the time
she got on that Greyhound bus
It would be better
if I could forget her
’cause she sure forgot about me
And if it takes all night
I’m gonna do it right
I’m gonna sit here till I can’t see
Well I’m a-
Pour me another one
I’m finished with the other one
I’m drinkin’ my baby goodbye
I said pour me another one
I’m finished with the other one
I’m drinkin’ my baby goodbye
